Henry, This looks exciting. I have recently started a humor studies blog with several other humor scholars. The blog is a place to inform humor scholars about what is going on in the field--and this CD would be great. Would someone involved be interested in writing a post on the CD? Nothing elaborate, but it might be a good promotion space. Maybe posting a preview track? Let me know if you are interested.
